Eskbank and Dalkeith
Having left King's Cross before dawn on a freezing winter morning, a UK Railtours excursion behind 66003 to Tweedbank on the new Borders Line hurries south past the former Eskbank and Dalkeith station, on the afternoon of 30th December 2015. The station closed with the Waverley Route on 6th January 1969. Just over three months before this excursion, the first 30 miles of the old line south from Edinburgh were reopened on 6th September 2015 with a new station, called simply Eskbank, on a site south of this original. The campaign to continue rebuilding the line (which should never have closed in the first place) from Tweedbank towards Carlisle, and bring trains back to Hawick, continues.
